   *update, not bad at all if used consistently but I had to apply thick layers and leave on until absorbed, like cold cream. Also used with a custom oil blend and the dermalibour helped retain moisture from that. it was good on my hands when applied very often, but then i found a 2 euro handcreme with the same effect.

   I read countless online reviews about this product working extremely well on people with all sorts of skin difficulties, eczema and psoriasis included. Every single review was extremely positive. The pharmacist told me it was suitable as daily skin care for dry and sensitive skin on face, hands and body. As not even buckets of coconut oil suffice to relieve my skin of severe dryness and irritation, I decided to try it. It is a thick zinc and copper sulfates plus oat extract cream. It doesn’t leave a white residue on skin. It feels very greasy, which I appreciate, especially that the skin stays greasy after application. Applying foundation over it though completely undoes the soothing, nourishing effect and I’m back to severe dryness and irritation. It feels soothing on the skin, definitely helps with itching and burning for a while, at least if I don’t put makeup over it. But that was all for me. Moisturizing, but not much lasting relief from dryness, nothing repairing about it, no action on my patches of scaly dry skin, no action on small scrapes and scabs, nothing. Short lived relief (very short lived) from stinging on my cleaner/disinfectant/weather ruined hands, but otherwise no improvement. At least it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin, so for lack of current better options (and because I paid for another damn product that’ll sit in the fridge if I don’t find some semi decent use for it) I will probably use it as undereye cream. No breakouts from this for me. It was about 9 euro, which isn’t terrible for a product that would do something, but since it doesn’t actually do much other than it is tolerated well, I will not repurchase or recommend, unless you are willing to try it for psoriasis or similar as many users with the condition seem to love it. it could safely be used on babies and elderly family members if it doesn’t work for you.
   I haven’t yet figured out how to include a photo but it’s in a white tube with green font, not the white and blue tube of the regular dermalibour cream.

   p.s. the packaging is an aluminum tube, the cap *seems* secure. but be careful to not wear this in your pocket or work robe. it opened and spilled all over mine. if you’re in a profession that’s hard on hands and want to try this and keep it handy at work (as you will have to reapply often), consider decanting some of it into those empty lip balm tubes DYIers use. I don’t suggest handling paperwork immediately after application as it is quite greasy. Really keep this one away from curious pets as the zink is problematic if swallowed. We were lucky as our dog got into a small amount of it and only vomited, but it still took a vet visit to be sure we’re on the safe side.
